Bonjour,
Thanks very much, Herb, for your advices.
I did the three points, now  (after removing the luatex-cache-folder)  
I have a luatex-cache/generic/fonts/otf with files like temp-arial.lua.
I can compile a short sample file from /Applications/TeX/LuaTeX-and- 
XeTeX and from any directory inside ~/
One more thing which brought trouble : I had not  understood that  
luatex works with opentype fonts (maybe some others)
but not some fonts I use in pdftex (I use kpfonts). I saw that I can  
add the luainputenc package which solves the problem.
Another problem was the name of fonts (I put Latin Modern in  
setmainfont instead Latin Modern Roman ou Latin Modern Sans).
I would like to have a list of fonts that luatex can load with their  
names (fonts of the system and fonts in texmf), is it possible ?
I saw in "Using Opentype fonts in LuaTeX" of Will Robertson that the  
good extensions are .otf .ttf and .dfont.
Best, Roland
